Modern drivers want a vehicle that can serve as many purposes as possible. In our increasingly busy and chaotic world, it's no longer enough to have a car that can merely "drive." Very few people use their ride to "just" go to work or "just" pick up the kids from school-particularly for those of us in Ohio, whose lives require a fair bit of driving, even those who live in one of our state's great cities. Who wants to be limited in where you can go and what you can do? That's part of the reason crossover SUVs have become so popular: they expand the horizons of your driving life, retaining the size and capabilities of larger classes while being as nimble and quick as a sports model.
If you're looking for a Gahanna Chevy dealer that sells the new 2024 Trailblazer, then Dave Gill Chevrolet is the place for you. The new Trailblazer will hit lots in autumn 2023, and we've never been more excited for the leaves to turn colors and the spooky season to arrive because this new Trailblazer is blowing our socks off. The 2024 iteration only builds on the innovation of past years, offering a better-than-ever Trailblazer that will serve all your needs. Let's walk through this new model, so you know why you'll want to take the new Trailblazer for a test drive as soon as possible.
Crossover Excellence
Crossovers, which have a base design similar to a subcompact or compact sedan to allow for a more nimble drive, continue to attract consumers. When you take to the road, we're sure you see a bunch of these roaring down the street. There are good reasons for this: crossovers offer drivers a lot of options and are designed to maximize space. Crossovers can handle different terrains with ease, whether those terrains are highways, city streets, or offroading.
When a sedan is too small for your needs but a pickup is too big, the crossover becomes the ideal buy. Families across Ohio have been thrilled by what they can do. In fact, even lifelong crossover buyers find themselves surprised again and again at just how much it's capable of. Very few crossover owners move on to a different type of vehicle; they remain crossover owners, and Chevy crossover owners definitely stay Chevy crossover owners. You'll soon see why.
The Trailblazer's Origin
Some confusion can arise about the Trailblazer as it differs from the now discontinued TrailBlazer (that capital B is important), which was a larger, more aggressive SUV. The Trailblazer (note the lowercase b) debuted in 2019 with the 2020 model. Chevy aimed to put a crossover compact on the market that retained some of the power and stature of the TrailBlazer while coming in a smaller size, so it could be more functional for the average driver.
The new Trailblazer proved popular, with over 30,000 purchased in its first year and an impressive bump to over 90,000 in its second. Consumers quickly learned just how adept an SUV they had on their hands.
Surface Appeal
Let's get down to the specifics of the upcoming year's model. Remember how we mentioned Chevy wanted to bring some of the original TrailBlazer energy to the crossover line? One need look no further than the front grille, which resembles a sardonic grin. If you opt for the Active trim, it gets even better: the grille gains titanium accents to add a note of strength to the Trailblazer's facade.
You'll also be granted a large range of exterior color options. The Trailblazer already has a sporty physique, so if you opt for the color that you find most exciting, you'll be able to replicate that feeling of being in a sports car despite driving a family hauler. If you want a bit more of an intimidating look, the mosaic black metallic color will make your crossover look like a vehicle of the night.
You've got wheel options, too. The appropriate set of wheels can add a lot to your Trailblazer's look. The set of 19-inch high-gloss black machined aluminum wheels that comes with the RS trim adds a layer of excitement, giving a sense of motion even when the crossover is still. Even the standard option of 17-inch silver-painted aluminum wheels doesn't look "standard;" they shine bright, affording the crossover a sense of class other crossovers cannot compete with.
For anyone worried about the aesthetics of their SUV, they need look no further than the 2024 Trailblazer. SUVs sometimes get a bad rap for their exteriors, but this crossover can compete with the sleek coupes that capture much of America's automotive desire. There's no reason to sacrifice beauty for utility if you buy the Trailblazer; you'll stand out no matter how extravagant the other cars around you are.
Under the Hood
Generally, crossovers aren't chosen for their performance alone, but the Trailblazer is an exception. Opt for one with a 1.3L EcoTec Turbo engine and you'll get access to three different driving modes, so you can get the best performance for whatever terrain you're traversing. In addition, opting for the 1.3L Turbo engine means you'll be able to use all-wheel drive. The standard engine is a 1.2L EcoTec Turbo whose maximum horsepower and torque are only slightly lesser than the 1.3L engine, so if you don't want the three drive modes, you won't be settling for something subpar; you'll still get a strong, responsive engine.
As always, the Trailblazer gives you choices so that you can have it match whatever the day's needs turn out to be. This versatility makes it exciting as drivers see their destination options widen.
Looking Within
The Trailblazer's interior continues the example set by its exterior, with a wireless charging dock and an 11.0-inch touchscreen infotainment interface at center stage-the pinnacle of the Trailblazer's impressive tech. Chevy wants its drivers to have the very best available in their crossover so they feel like they're setting the trend instead of following it.
The Trailblazer's passengers will travel in comfort, too, with 39.4 in. of rear-seating legroom, and you'll still have 25.3 cu.ft. of cargo space in the back. However, the Trailblazer is so malleable that, if you lower the rear seats, you have 54.4 cu.ft. of cargo volume (at 8.5 ft of available cargo length) so you can take whatever you need to wherever you're going. The fact that this is a smaller SUV doesn't mean cargo space has to be at a premium; Chevy does not want you to feel unrestricted.
Safety First
The Trailblazer's safety features are ahead of the curve. Thanks to the Chevy Safety Assist system, you can have your SUV warn you of incoming collisions and wandering pedestrians. If you want, you can even have the vehicle begin to react for you. For instance, with Lane Keep Assist on, the Trailblazer can begin to put you back into your lane if you are unknowingly drifting out of it. Similarly, the Automatic Emergency Braking can kick into gear when a frontal collision seems likely; by the time your foot hits the brake pedal, the SUV will already be slowing. This extra second of speed reduction can make a world of difference.
The 2024 Trailblazer's Excellence
The Trailblazer is the best of this year's crossover SUVs, with its suave looks, comfortable interior, and superior sensor technology. With its ability to navigate any road, you'll feel free to travel wherever and whenever you please. At Dave Gill Chevrolet, we are eager to offer this 2024 model to our family of customers because we want them to have the best-and the Trailblazer is just that. We're ready to assist you in finding the right trim so that your drives can become a highlight of your life.
